A damsel in distress

We found a lovely Large Red Damselfly in the kitchen window this afternoon. They're generally the first to emerge in the Spring and this is the first damselfly or dragonfly any of us have seen this year.

They're so delicate and beautiful, but needed a bit of help to get outside. It seemed happy enough to sit on my finger for a few photos, then I let it go and it sat on a plant outside the back door.
